2014 BOE Cabernet Franc Rosé

With a medium salmon pink hue and the profile of a classic French
Loire Valley dry rosé, this wine presents a beautiful balance of
fruit flavors, refreshing acidity, and clean, crisp finish. On the
palate you get bright red fruits of cherry, watermelon, lime and
raspberry which continue to a crisp, dry finish of minerals, white
flowers and savory herbs classically found in Cabernet Franc
Rosé.

Pairing Notes

The balance of fruit and acidity in this wine lends itself to a
wide variety of food pairings – from goat cheese, BBQ and pizza, to
sushi, salmon, tuna, and even chicken, turkey and ham. This wine
can do it all, no matter the season. And don’t forget the spring /
fall Holidays, where it’s a perfect, festive fit!

Process

The grapes were picked specifically for producing rose, then
crushed and cold soaked for 14 hours. The wine was fermented in
stainless steel tanks, and was allowed to ferment with wild yeasts.
After cool-temperature fermentation, it rested on a small amount of
lees for a few weeks to extract extra aromas and give the wine its
prolonged finish. It was then simply rested and bottled. Vegan.
